Fun ... but very demanding
This game is really fun. You can mod your cars to a much further extent than previous NFS.
However, I don't think you can run it on integrated graphics. I have a MPB and it works flawlessly |  | Reviewed on 2008-05-09 
Driving game for the Mac
I just got this game and I am thoroughly enjoying it. It is fun and I get to drive fast without risking real-life damage. I am not much of a gamer, I just like driving games and this has what I was after.
Of course, I did some research on the game before I bought it. I heard about it crashing (the game exits during play-time), and I have already had that happen once, but that is OK.
'used' game (still in the wrapper), $[...]: totally worth it. | | Reviewed on 2007-12-25
Heart-breaking
I loved how this game looked but when I tried to play it on my mac mini; it wouldn't work. I found out that it is not compatible with mac mini's standard video card (GMA950) and that you can't install a different video card on the mini. So beware all you mini owners; stay clear of this game unless you want to end up like me. | | Reviewed on 2007-11-28
fun, but has some issues
In this game, you race on city streets, with light traffic, and police who sometimes chase you. In the career mode, you complete a series of races to take over territory. There is also a series of challenge events, and various multiplayer options. The city looks great, and it is fun to race through it really fast. However there were two issues with the game that bothered me.
First, it crashes a lot, at least on my new MacBook Pro. I almost returned the game as unplayable, because it seemed impossible to get through one of the first races in career mode without crashing (the software, not the car). Fortunately, I discovered that if I disconnected my external monitor, I could get through this race (and then resume playing on the external monitor for a while until the next software crash). Don't ask me what causes this behavior.
Second, the career mode seemed too easy, and therefore a bit boring. I could win most races on the first try. (Due to an unfortunate incident unrelated to the game, I had to stop playing after completing only the first third of the career mode. Also I didn't try the multiplayer. So maybe it gets more challenging.) Cars seem to be indestructible (except that you lose a canyon race if you drive off a cliff). The only hard part is to evade the police, which is kind of tedious. You have teammates who are supposed to help you in races; I could never figure out how to use them, but I didn't need them. | |
